Abstract
Lightning receiver for a wind turbine blade. The invention provides a ray receiving arrangement (11, 12) for a wind turbine blade (10) comprising at least one self-tapping screw (21) having a head (21) and a threaded rod (23) as an element external metallic receiver for receiving rays on one side of the wind turbine blade (10) and an internal element comprising an electrically conductive block (20) configured with at least one unthreaded hole (41) to cooperate with said threaded rod (23) and connected to a down conductor (18) of a grounding arrangement. The internal element is attached to at least one shell (17) of the wind turbine blade with an adhesive force capable of resisting the torque applied to the self-tapping screw (21) for screwing it into the unthreaded hole (41).
